Paris Saint-Germain offer star £9m incentive?

Paris Saint-Germain have allegedly promised to pay Arsenal attacker Alexis Sanchez a £9m bonus in January if he agrees to join them at the end of the season.

The 28-year-old is into the final year of his deal at the Emirates and is now expected to depart on a free transfer next summer after a £75m deal for him to move Manchester City this summer collapsed.

City remain in pole position to secure his signature but in recent weeks PSG are thought to have expressed an interest and, according to El Mecurio, the free-spending French side will offer to pay him an advance of £9m from his signing-on fee in just three months' time.

Reports last week suggested that Sanchez is looking for a signing-on fee in the region of £25m when he departs the Gunners, as well as a salary of £400,000 a week.

Manchester United are also thought to have shown interest in rivalling City and PSG for the Chilean.
